South Korea is devoting more of its capacity to diplomacy and investing more of its diplomatic countries beyond the peninsula. Neither targets South Korea's national strategy, but there are a growing number of new issues unrelated to North Kor. Second, in light of South Korea's strategy as a major global player, the national division is a significant task.
With the rise of its national power, South Korea's foreign strategy has also undergone major changes.
Neighboring States’
The country has broken away from the paradigm of focusing most of its interests and resources on the unification issue as it increasingly needs to expand the scope of its foreign policy to the rest of the world. South Korea must keep all these things in mind and pursue a multifaceted foreign policy; Because foreign policy concerns are too broad to focus solely on North Korea, we can conclude that unification must inevitably be promoted by the South. After national division and war, South Korea was reduced to a nation that has risen to such a high position on the world stage that it is able to host the G20 Summit and the Nuclear Security Summit.
If this trend is to continue, South Korea must achieve unification and carry these out, taking into account the costs of separation that South Korea must currently bear.
Concerns over a Unified Korea and
Today's North Korea faces serious challenges that would have been unimaginable had the former communist bloc fallen, North Korea has lost the lion's share of its diplomatic and economic support, and is now facing a succession crisis due to the regime's health problems. In the future, actors from various fields, not just the government, will take on important roles. In the late 1980s, international politics was still largely determined by an unification environment that would have many new features, such as the weakening of the US.
There have been fundamental changes in the political dynamics of Northeast Asia due to factors n's relegation to more average status and Russia's growing power.
Benefits for
At the time this unification formula was put forward, the gap in national power was not as great as it is now, and the international diplomatic situation regarding North Korea has also changed. The gap between South and North is incomparably greater, and international views of North -Korea also developed. There is a general consensus and experts who, based on numerous reports predicting the global political situation in the middle of the 21st century, finally. Not only has it built one of the world's top economic powers, it has received praise as a model of deployment.
As the Northeast Asian country gains momentum to become a major global player, it has adopted a new foreign policy that includes aid to third countries.
Neighboring States
Easing Neighboring States’ Concerns over a Unified Korea and Benefits for Neighboring States
South Korea is perhaps already the only successful example of adopting an American-style democracy. At the same time, South Korea's crucial variable, namely China, must also be taken into account. Given these interests, a South Korean-led unification could be a good opportunity for Japan to further advance its national interests.
They are deeply wary of the possibility that a unified Korea after a South Korea-led unification could lean toward China or pursue a path to becoming a nuclear state, which is clearly against Japan's interests. Therefore, if South Korea wants to withdraw Japan's support in the pursuit of a South Korea-led unification, it should approach Japan while taking into account their national interests. In other words, South Korea needs to communicate to Japan that a unified Korea will continue both its U.S.
In addition, the fact that Japan will enjoy considerable security benefits as a South Korean-led unification would eliminate North Korea's military threats should be reinforced. In this sense, South Korea should prudently promote its Japanese policy while considering their national interests. Therefore, South Korea must redouble its efforts to further diversify the cooperation network between Korea and Russia and strengthen Russia's support for Korean reunification and a unified Korea.
Furthermore, South Korea followed a commitment policy for 10 years under the e-jung and Roh Moo-hyun. South Korea devotes more of its capacity to diplomacy and invests more of its diplomatic resources in other ula. After the national division and war, South Korea was reduced to a nation of grinding poverty, but.
If this trend is to continue, South Korea must achieve unification and implement these strategic ideals.
Direction of a Unification
Second, while the formula for unification through increased exchanges and cooperation between the two Koreas, there has been no real discussion of a specific structural commitment. Given these facts, we must clearly consider a unifying plan outlined in separate phases. Thirdly, the formula of unification through a national community has been considered as state actors.
As the post-nationalist, globalizing trend in South Korea progresses, new views and approach will be needed. This factor is not incorporated into the thinking behind the national community association forms, must be considered more directly. Integration accelerated not only in Europe, but also in other regions, and North-East Asia was no exception, the Cold War ended and new political and economic paradigms were established.
Modern continuations of international politics, such as post-nationalist integration and global political networks, began to emerge. In Northeast Asia, modernity has grown, but economic interdependence has deepened, and cooperation between civil society groups and between classes has increased. Moreover, given the many things the South and the North could do, the costs of the split are immeasurably high.
Considering that the two Koreas have to contend with societal problems a's divided families and the disruption of national homogeneity, as well as the great social costs for both sides fr.
Diplomacy
Direction of a Unification Diplomacy
Therefore, South Korea should work to alleviate their concerns while convincing them of the benefits they will enjoy. For example, South Korea has relatively broad and diverse cooperation networks with the US, demonstrating their long standing. Therefore, South Korea should affirm the importance of issues concerning the Korean Peninsula and the benefits of unification that they will enjoy, while constantly developing new cooperative networks to balance their views.
Therefore, to gain strong support for unification, South Korea must work to address their concerns. For example, one of the directly mentioned burdens on China is a stronger US-ROK alliance and the spread of US influence across the peninsula in the event of a South Korean-led unification. In this situation, China and Russia are unlikely to view the US-ROK alliance and South Korean-led unification as desirable.
Economically, South Korea needs to create a regional mechanism that does not significantly conflict with the US-led TPP and China's economic interests. In order to achieve South Korea-led peaceful unification, it is urgent to find ways to elicit China's cooperation. In this situation, South Korea's primary unification policy consideration regarding China is to prevent China's interference and opposition in matters related to Korean unification.
In this sense, as mentioned earlier, South Korea should be especially careful not to allow its alliance with the US to target China. To this end, South Korea must acquire the capacity to secure its own space independent of both the US and China. South Korea needs to consider how to balance its unification diplomacy towards Japan and its outstanding issues.
First, unification diplomacy toward Russia must begin by giving Russia greater priority and strengthening South Korea's presence.
